Background
This conference series convened by SEAMEO SPAFA is Southeast Asia's first and only locally-initiated international platform dedicated to the sharing and updating of archaeological knowledge in the region. Conferences are held every three years, with the two previous events having been held in Chonburi (2013) and Bangkok (2016). In both events, a majority of the participants came from Southeast Asia with numbers increasing from 120 to 220. As a feature of SEAMEO events, SPAFA facilitates the representation of all Southeast Asian countries through the provision of Country Reports, delivered by the nominees of the 11 Southeast Asian countries.
